Researcher at Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care Discusses Research in Postpartum Hemorrhage (Comparison of Carbetocin and Oxytocin Efficacy in Preventing Postpartum Hemorrhage after C-Section).

A report discusses research on postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), which is defined as excessive blood loss after childbirth. PPH is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. The study compared the effectiveness of two drugs, carbetocin and oxytocin, in preventing PPH in women undergoing elective cesarean sections. The results showed that carbetocin was more effective in reducing blood loss and maintaining hemoglobin and hematocrit levels compared to oxytocin. The study suggests that carbetocin may be a better option for preventing PPH in these patients. [Extracted from the article]
